“For me, the photographic process is more about the unseen, than the seen. Crafting an image is about trust and relationship building. Listening and working with my intuition is how it begins. The results are … magic” - Violetta Markelou
Miami, FL — Award-winning photographer Violetta Markelou is now bringing her unique approach to portraiture and editorial storytelling to Miami. With more than 18 years behind the lens, Violetta has built a reputation for creating photography experiences that go beyond capturing an image — they create transformation.
Her work has been featured internationally in Vogue Italia’s PhotoVogue, The Washington Post, HBO Films, and Modern Luxury. Closer to home, her exhibitions have appeared at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Superfierce’s The Art of Resistance, and community-centered showcases amplifying women, artists, and underrepresented voices.
What sets her apart is her process. Violetta blends styling, wellness practices, and intuitive direction to create sessions that are as empowering as the final images. Her philosophy - "A portrait is not just what you see, it’s what you feel.”
Now based in Miami, she’s offering:
Empowerment Portraits — styled, confidence-building sessions for individuals.
Editorial Photography — bold, story-driven shoots for brands, creatives, and publications.
Fashion-Forward Portraits — striking, magazine-worthy images that merge high style with authenticity.
Documentary Series — long-form visual storytelling projects rooted in social impact.
“After years of shooting in Washington, DC, I’m excited to bring this work to Miami — a city that thrives on art, diversity, and self-expression,” Violetta says.
